trying to convert to Islam how do i go about in doing that?

Answer 1

if it is truly in your heart then you only need to say shahada "There is no god But Allah and Muhammad is a prophet of Allah"

Answer 2

You have got answers to how to convert to Islam. But I just want to give you an advice on what to do after converting:
1- attend a regular Quran Studying classes.
2- ask, search and find out, do not believe anything blindly, because a lot of Muslims are just following traditions which is baseless from Quran and Sunna (the two sources of Islam)
3- you may get a lot of useful information on the following sites

Answer 3

1. Get some books on Islam and read them.
2. I assume you already have read the Koran, if not get it and read it since it is Islam's holy book.
3. Perhaps go join the congregation a local mosque.

Answer 4

This is nice to know that you have found Islam as a true, convincing religion.

You most probably have done some research on it, that's why you want to become a Muslim. All you have to do is to say the kalimah, "La ilaha il lallahu, Mohammad ur Rasool Allah" which means "THere is no God but Allah, and Prophet Mohammad is his last prophet"

These would help you Insha Allah:

Answer 5

If you know someone who is Muslim, I recommend speaking with him or her about wanting to embrace Islam. The friend may recommend good Islamic reading material for you. Better yet, you might consider studying the faith together.

Answer 6

To proclaim your Islamic faith, you must recite the Shahada which has been mentioned by the brothers and sisters above.

After that, being a Muslim is really just between you and God. It's up to you to become a good, practicing Mu'min (believer).

That's really about it!

May Allah guide you and us to the right path.

Answer 7

Congratulations!!!

Converting to islam is real easy.

You have to say, and believe with all your heart and soul "La Ilaha Illalahu Muhammadur Rasulullah"

There is no God but Allah, Mohammed (PBUH) is Allah's prophet.

and "Ashhadu Alla Ilaha Illalahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abu duhu wa Rasul"

I testify that There is no God but Allah. Muhammed is his messenger and prophet.

Say it and believe it. That's the first step.

Afterwards try learning more about Salaat (Prayer), Zakaat, and Saoom (Fasting)

Answer 8

I suggest you contact the Imam at a local Masjid...he can answer your questions and recommend some reading for you.....the steps will follow after you speak with Imam...good luck...

Answer 9

Praise be to Allah.

It brought us great joy to hear from the noble inquirer expressing interest in accepting Islam. It is indeed the religion that links the human being to his Lord directly via the belief in the oneness of God and through various acts of worship. It instills peace of mind and an inner serenity to the created human being, embodied in a unique relationship and devout tranquillity, encompassing love for, fear of, hope from, and submission to, God Almighty, Allaah. Indeed, this essence is the true meaning of worship, which comprises and combines acts of the heart with acts of the tongue in remembering God, in addition to the acts of the physical organs. This is manifested through prayer, fasting, paying zakaat (requisite charitable donations to the needy), and reading the Holy Qur'aan, among other acts, which you will find resulting in positive and benevolent effects in yourself, God willing (in shaa' Allaah). No doubt that if you decide to accept Islam that the conclusion which you will have reached was due to two things: (1) a sound mind and (2) success granted from God (Allaah).

As for converting to Islam, it is a very simple and easy thing, consisting of your pronouncing the two testimonies of faith (al-shahaadatain):
- "ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa allah"
- "ash-hadu anna muhammad ar-rasool ullah"

As for the two testimonies of creed, the first is "ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa allah" (I testify that there is no deity other then Allah), which means that one believes and confirms that there is nothing to be worshipped other than Allah and that one is prepared to implement His divine rulings and guidlines (shari'a) for all aspects of life. The second is "ash-hadu anna muhammad ar-rasool ullah" which means the belief that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the seal of the prophets (i.e. the final one), whom Allah has sent with the Islamic religion to supercede all other previous religions and that it is obligatory to comply with what he has enjoined, and to abstain and renounce all that he has prohibited and restrained.

Finally, we say to you that you are sincerely welcome as a brother to us in Islam, and we are in the utmost readiness to provide you with any service or information possible. We ask Allaah to fulfill, perfect, and complete His grace and benevolence upon you, and to grant you perseverance in holding fast to the truth. For indeed, Allaah is the One who guides to the path of truth and light.
